Meet the Newest Member of Our Team!

Over the last several weeks, we’ve elected a new Board and crafted a strategic plan to build our local Party in 2021. A portion of this plan includes recruiting new talent to help us achieve our goals in preparation for the 2022 Midterm Elections.

With this in mind, please join us in welcoming the newest member of our team, Annie Mazzarella!

Annie is excited to join the Maricopa County Democratic Party (MCDP) as our new Operations Manager, where she will assist in the planning and executing of fundraisers, events, call time, and more! She spent 2020 as a finance staffer for Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego’s re-election campaign and loves being involved in the Arizona political sphere. As an Arizona native, Annie attended high school in Scottsdale where she was one of the founding members of her school’s speech and debate team. She went on to become a collegiate-level debater at ASU as well as a debate coach at multiple Phoenix high schools and summer institutes around the valley.

Graduating from ASU in 2019, Annie earned two degrees in English literature and political science. She was a campus tour guide and active member of ASU Young Democrats. She’s passionate about public speaking and storytelling and is hoping to work closely with elected officials, legislators, and staffers to help them hone their presentation skills. Outside of work, you can find her watching movies and volunteering at film festivals in her spare time.

We’re so excited to have Annie join the team. Her knowledge and skillset is an asset we need to reach every corner of Maricopa County.

In Community,

Maritza Miranda Saenz, Executive Director
